mara margarita cocktail recipe

For one of our signature cocktails we’ve put a super simple twist on the classic Margarita by adding a seaweed salt rim. We absolutely love Scottish brand, Mara Seaweed and use 1g of their dulse salt to 35g of Blackthorn sea salt – it’s a wee taste of the sea with your Marg. And if there’s any left over, then sprinkle a bit on your seafood.
